Universal Design for Single-Family Homes
When planning a home, most people focus on aesthetics, comfort, and functionality. However, as we age and our needs evolve, considering how a home can adapt to changing abilities and different life stages is paramount. Universal design addresses this by creating spaces that are accessible, usable, and adaptable for everyone – regardless of age or physical ability.

The placement, size, and functionality of windows and doors – along with additional tools for harnessing natural light – are major considerations to discuss early in the process.
